Die sieben Beiträge des Symposium "Aus Glauben gerecht" (Theologische Hochschule Elstal, 12.-14. November 2015) nehmen im Vorfeld des Reformationsjubiläums den "ersten und Hauptartikel" der reformatorischen Theologie in den Blick. Die "Neue Paulus-Perspektive", Luthers Paulus-Exegese, Rechtfertigung und Bekehrung in Puritanismus und Erweckungsbewegungen, Gnade und Erlösung in der afroamerikanischen Spiritualität, die Rechtfertigungsbotschaft für Menschen von heute: Die exegetischen, kirchengeschichtlichen und systematischen Beiträge aus landes- und freikirchlicher evangelischer sowie aus katholischer Perspektive spannen einen Bogen vom Stand der Diskussion um die exegetischen Grundlagen der Rechtfertigungslehre bis zur Frage nach ihrer lebenspraktischen Relevanz im weltweiten Protestantismus.
